<p>I'm in 9th grade applying for 10th grade. I am also Asian but I am from Pakistan so I don't know if that makes a difference?</p>

<p>Grades- (If it is an Honor class you get +7 points so my grade on my transcript will be...)
Biology H: 87 B
Computer Apps 1: 94 A
General Health:78 C
Spanish 1:86 B
9th Lit/Comp H:86 B
Acc Integrated Adv Algebra H: 91 A</p>

<p>The only reason my grades are like this is because I kind of stopped caring about school for a few months and had some problems but all my grades since 6th grade are straight A's.</p>

<p>I am taking the SSAT on Feb. 5 and expect to score above 95%.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: </p>

<li>student government (Grade Representative)<br></li>
<li>cross country ( On school track team and 2nd place distract 100 meter dash)<br></li>
<li>photography( In Photography club and school event photographer)</li>

<p>You have a good chance, the only thing that might weigh you down is the C. Are you applying for next year, because the cut off for all the schools, I think, for the SSAT is January, and they won’t accept anything later than that. Maybe Andover is different, I have to check. But if you have a good SSAT score they might overlook the bad grades. But good luck to you!</p>

<p>Thank you so much :slight_smile: But the C was in health so IDK. and I think its ok to take the SSAT later</p>

<p>I just checked the Andover website it said:
“As part of the application process, students must complete the appropriate required standardized test prior to the stated application deadline”
I think the Feb. SSAT is too late, you might go into the late application pool :(</p>

<p>yes i am almost positive the february ssat date is way too late. the boarding application is already due on february 1st. like katester22 said, you will probably go into the late application pile. but good luck :)</p>

<p>Ohhh if I go into the late applicant I have like 0% chance of getting in :(</p>
